Probably a tag to keep the tea bag from dropping to the bottom of the cup.

Which was, of course, my first thought... but it looks more like the tea BAG itself...
(Looks 3D not 2D)
But a tea bag hanging on the side of the cup would make no sense.. hence my question..
(And you know Jeph - if it had been a tag there would have been tiny writing on it making some tea-pun!) :)

Tea bag!? *shudder* Western barbarians...
As for the supposed evils of caffeine, parents seem quite happy to let children way younger than 13 guzzle caffeinated, sugar-loaded soft drinks.

Funny you should mention that.
I personally started drinking coffee at a very early age, around 3 years old, obviously initially small amounts with lots of milk, but normal cups with milk at around 6-7 years old. In the Netherlands btw, where coffee is very much ingrained and I think not unusually consumed by children (albeit not at such a young age).
When I tell that here (USA), people are generally shocked, which I find amusing when observing all the garbage they typically let their kids consume at an early age, including the drinks you mention (coincidentally I had almost zero carbonated and/or caffeinated soft drinks before middle school myself)

I drank coffee long before I did carbonated soft drinks,[1] starting about age six. I went off coffee for a long time due to how it triggers my anxiety, but had to go back on caffeine because every non-controlled anxiety med either doesn't work on me, or knocks my arse out.
[1] When I was 2, I toddled to what became my first beer. When the carbonation caused it to start coming out of my nose, I had a strong aversion to anything carbonated.

Most coffee places usually leave the teabag in the cup, with the idea that you let it sit for your preferred taste. Considering that Sam was going to be taking the tea back to Union Robotics, it might have run the risk of getting steeped, which ruins the flavour. So, cup of hot water, tea bag hanging on the side and bring it back so that it can be appreciated fresh.
